Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Kicking Off the Short Week

Imprimis Pharmaceuticals, Inc. IMMY

We began tracking IMMY as it was coming off of recent relative lows on Thursday morning, and at the time the stock saw a low of 2.12 before continuing the bottom-bounce that initially drew our attention.

That trend continued on Friday, as we suggested it might in our premarket report, with IMMY adding a solid session wherein the stock pushed its way from a low of 2.50 to a new high of 3.05. It went down in the books as an intraday increase of 22%, and a two-day swing of 44% over our observed low from Thursday.


Momentous Entertainment Group, Inc. MMEG

Wednesday morning’s premarket report was when we caught on with MMEG, and after making a nice two-day swing of 123% from a low of .0017 to .0038 on Wednesday and Thursday, the stock continued to push upward on Friday and secured multi-day runner status.

From a low of .0032 the ran to .0055, which works out to a daily rip of 72% and a three-day overall move of 224% over the low we saw on Wednesday.


Yippy, Inc. YIPI

We tagged YIPI in Friday’s extended watchlist, catching the stock just in time to witness a solid run from .60-1.09, which marked an intraday rise of 82%

The excellent single-session move came on volume of more than 17X the monthly average, so we’re definitely going to want to keep an eye on it as we kick off this holiday-shortened week.


Novus Acquisition & Development Corp. NDEV

After first alerting NDEV on December 12th, we’ve borne witness to a really nice run that has essentially lasted the entire time since then.

We observed a low of .30 in the stock on that first day, and it didn’t fall below that mark once in these ten ensuing sessions. What it has done, is gradually raise the bar, until it cracked through the dollar barrier to set a new high of 1.05 on Friday. That qualifies as a two-week swing amounting to 250%


Petrobras Argentina PZE

To wrap up this lengthy review of all the recent winners we’ve been tracking, we want to make a quick mention of PZE, which we slated as a bottom-watch play at the end of last month.

We urged readers to monitor the stock closely in the days that followed, feeling strongly that a rebound was in order, and the month of December has really validated that notion convincingly. From the low we witnessed the day after our alert at 4.66, PZE has made its way to a new high of 6.77, a solid 45% swing.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Earnings-Related Options & More

American Eagle Outfitters, Inc.  AEO – Options Idea

Earnings-related options ideas are among some of our favorite plays to track, and that’s what we’ve got here with AEO this morning. American Eagle had a mixed earnings release, satisfying on profit expectations while falling short of on both sales and outlook. Granted that the stock was already looking a bit top-heavy, we’re feeling bearish about this play for the short-term.

To coincide with that instinct, we’re going to signal our interest in a range of puts in the AEO options chain. For possible quick-strike trades, we’re going to be looking at the AEO Weekly $19.50-16.50 Puts.

_____

Splunk, Inc. SPLK – We’ve also got a bullish options idea to bring to the table with SPLK, and this one is earnings-related as well.

The company posted a strong quarterly report yesterday and is surging as a result. In this case we’re going to highlight and track the SPLK Weekly $60.50-62 Calls.



Petrobras Argentina S.A.  PZE

While we’ve mentioned Petrobras countless times in our reports in the form of PBR, this marks the first occasion upon which we’re focusing on its Argentinian counterpart. The stock has been getting absolutely hammered of late, and with an OPEC deal seemingly close at hand, oil has begun to run. That’s why we’re going to be tracking this one over an extended time period from this point forward.

Should the production cut go off without a hitch, it sets PZE (as well as other oil stocks) up to regain a good bit of the ground lost in past weeks, so we’ll want to put this one on bottom-watch in the days and weeks ahead.
